Source - Destination Editing

Concept

Source - Destination Editing is a powerful method of viewing and editing material especially applicable
to editing multiple, multi-track, takes into one, 'ideal' take. Special Source and Destination Track Groups
allow multiple Timelines to be visible simultaneously. Each Source and destination Timeline has its own
zoom level and Playhead cursor. By taking advantage of the 'Collapse' feature, editing 48 track source
material becomes almost as simple as editing mono or stereo.
Source - Destination editing can also be extremely useful in broadcast and tracklaying applications.
Pyramix can have as many clip editors as you wish. Just create some tracks, group them, set the group
as a Source. Set the clip editor track or tracks as 'always visible' (in the Tracks Tab Window, so each
clip editor always stays on top of the composition and that's it.
If there's no Destination group in your composition then the section between the Gates in the Source
Group/Clip Editor is sent to the positions delineated by the Mark In/Mark Out on the selected track(s) in
the composition.

Templates
The quickest and easiest way to get started with Source - Destination editing is to use one of the sup-
plied Templates. Choose the one which most closely matches your requirements, modify to taste and
save as a Template for future use.
Starting from Scratch
In the Track Groups window, Create as many Source groups as there are alternate versions of the
material you are editing and select their type as Source.
Tip: Create a Group, select its type as Source then choose Tracks > Duplicate Selected Track Group
repeatedly until you have the required number of Source groups.
Create as many Destination groups you want to edit to (generally only one) and select its (their) type as
Destination.
Create as many Tracks for each source take as you need for your editing and associate a Group to
each of them.
Set these groups as Keep Cursor, Free Zoom, Auto-Solo and No Selection.
Select the option "Auto Select Tracks" in the Tracks menu. Tracks > Auto Select Tracks
Show the Source - Destination Toolbar, View > Scales > Toolbars > Source - Destination.
You are now ready to proceed with the Source - Destination Editing the following manner:
Source and Destination Groups have special markers called Gate In and Gate Out which can be set,
nudged and auditioned:
Set the selected Track Group Gate In/Out of the selected Track Group to Cursor with the menu Cursor
& Marks > Gate In/Out to Cursor
To remove a Gate set it again in the same position
